Trump Announces Big Trip – First Time In 82 Years a President is going to Fort Knox

President Donald Trump plans to travel to Fort Knox, Kentucky, to ensure that the stockpile of gold that has long been reported to be stored at the military base is there.
“We’re gonna go into Fort Knox to make sure the gold is there,” Trump said.
According to the U.S. Mint, the last time a gold vault was inspected by individuals other than authorized personnel was during President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s visit to the Bullion Depository in 1943 — 82 years ago.
quote:
“One of the things we do want to look — I mean, we hope everything’s fine with Fort Knox, but we’re gonna go to Fort Knox, the fabled Fort Knox, to make sure the gold is there,” he said.
“Where would the gold have gone?” a reporter asked.
“If the gold isn’t there, we’re gonna be very upset,” the president replied.
quote:
“We’re going to open up the doors. We’re going to inspect Fort Knox,” Trump said in a speech to Republican governors Thursday evening. “I don’t want to open it, and the cupboards are bare,” he added.
quote:
The U.S. Mint reports that during regularly scheduled audits to test its purity, they have only removed small quantities of gold from Fort Knox. The depository has not seen any gold transfers in or out for many years, aside from these samples.

Trump better bring a backhoe and uproot that tree if he wants the gold.

I know most here think there’s no gold or substantially less then thought of, but I believe they have more than they claim.
I think they don’t want any president knowing how much or how it was obtained because it could be used or revealed.

There's something to this. Trump has some information that things aren't on the up and up at Fort knox. IMHO

Time for a surprise inspection.

Good. I thought this inspection was forgotten about with so much going on.

Question is, if this gold is so vital to the American dollar, why has it been 82 years since a President went there? Seems suspect

Who would “they” be?
Are we thinking it’s some kind of dragon’s lair of gold and jewels? The missing Nazi gold?

Looks like it has been. This tweet and quote is from February. IDK why OP is posting this.

Doesn't have anything to do with the current dollar, there is no gold backing on USD. Hoping that this visit is a start to putting a gold standard back on the USD. Would hamstring the fed from just printing money

Kinda retarded but also probably one of the things I’d want to do just because I could if I were president. I’ll allow it.

Not anymore. If we soon see many pallets of bricks and cans of gold paint dropped off there, we'll know there's a problem with the gold stockpile.

That's why I think theres more to it. Think about everything Trump has going on right now. Immigration, foreign trade, rogue federal judges, Ukraine, Iran, ect. Yet he's taking time for this?
He knows or suspects something.

Ft. Knox is not our only gold depository.

Not at all. Presidents should have it checked from time to time, but not personally. What good does that do anyway? They could paint wooden blocks and fool a President but not a chemist with the proper resting equipment.

I see your middle name was not an affectation but an honest mistake.

I was wondering about this last week myself. I was thinking Trump might have gotten distracted by all of the lawfare rulings.

He should have done it without ANY notice to the press!
